Delicious soup
This has been a family favorite for 10 years now.
Yummo going to try this as my baby girl is sick
I had kale on hand so I used that instead of the Swiss chard. I also substituted coconut oil for olive oil. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe, I’ll be making more of your recipes for sure!
Thank you for the feedback Andi and glad you liked the Lentils soup.
We make a very similar lentil/lemon/onion/spinach soup, but instead of using potatoes, we make a dumpling with burghul #1. We soak it in water, drain well and add a small amount of flour. We drop 1″ balls of it in the soup to cook. We also add pomegranate juice to the soup. Anybody ever do this? We call it KIBBEH THRAHIBB (spelling?)
Hi Charlotte- Kibbet Raheb is amazing it’s one of my favorite tabekh. If you’d like you can check our recipe here: https://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/vegetarian/monks-kibbeh-stew-kibbet-raaheb-recipe/
Very nice, thank you.
Would you ever put mint or anything in this?
Hi Pat – I’ve personally haven’t tried this soup with mint but you could certainly try it.
We dont get Leek, swiss chard where I live. Can we use spinach instead? ZARahim
Zeenath I’ve never tried the lentils soup with Spinach however it never hurts to give it a shot. And to be honest the greens in it are kinda optional, it can definitely be made without it as long as you have a good amount of garlic and lemon in it. Those are the main flavors.
it’s great made with fresh spinach, too. We add about 9 oz (255 g) of fresh pre-washed spinach, after chopping it up. You can add it later in the cooking process, if you don’t want it so wilted.
this is a delicious recipe. thanks for sharing!

I love this soup almost as much as Lenten Lentil soup, which my Mom made almost every Friday during Lent.
Thanks for your note Joan. What’s your lenten soup like? I don’t know if I’ve had it before.
